Voices of California

The Project

California is a diverse state, with vastly different
ecosystems and cultural regions. Most communities in California are
diverse as well, and we want to make a record of the different ways
of being a Californian.
We're interested in how Californians see their communities, their
regions, and the
rest of the state. And we're interested in how these perceptions
show up in ways of speaking across the state.

We are visiting a number of distinctive communities across the
state, capturing Californians' experience in their own words. We do
recorded interviews with people who have spent their entire
lives in their community, so we can get a clear picture not only of
how things are now, but of how things have changed as well.
